James Beard Foundation Award
The James Beard Foundation Awards were established in 1990 and are often called "The Oscars of Food."[1] Held on the first weekend in May, the Awards honor the finest chefs, restaurants, wine professionals, journalists, cookbook authors, restaurant designers, and other food professionals in the United States. The awards are voted on by more than 600 culinary professionals. Recipients receive a bronze medallion etched with the image of the late James Beard and a certificate from the Foundation.[2]
The foundation also administers the Who's Who of Food and Beverage in America awards.
